Update This one from JR his self. I finally got home last week. Mind is good, back is weak. I've recovered enough to use a walker. 1st time sitting at the computer since Jan 1st. Hunt & peck now. Left hand doesn't follow directions very well yet. Whole left side needs lot's of work. Really good therapists here. so I'm confident it'll improve.

Thanks for all the well wishes from all you great guys. Talking with Al is the first thing I actually remember after the stroke. So thanks Al for jogging the brain to get going again.

I won' be racing or driving any more which is my choice. We just got the 4-door Chevelle race ready and I wish I could have made one more pass, but not to be. The Chevelle was my dad's first NEW car.

Anyway, Thanks for your support, and I wish everyone a great 2022 racing season.

Jerry

Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery, my brother Ron and I have great memories of racing with you over the years, my bet is you will make one more pass in the future.

Glad to hear you are doing better. With my wife we took it by the week for getting better. You can always go for ride going shotgun. Thoughts and prayers are with you. Tom

I was in Aberdeen yesterday and stopped and saw Jerry. He is progressing well. Doing rehab twice a week.

We had a good conversation about cars, racing and life in general. Jerry has a very good attitude.

If you are in Aberdeen, stop and see him. If you can't make it in person, call him. He would appreciate hearing from you.

Back in Aberdeen on Tuesday, 8/23. Stopped and visited with Jerry. Vast improvement!

He has gained 20 pounds and is able to walk short distances, gaining strength every day. Give him a call or stop and see him if you are in the area.

He would love to hear from you.

Best wishes for a full recovery, Jerry. Sorry to hear you have to be done with racing, but we all reach that point and have to be brave enough to quit while we're ahead. You were the man and many, many people like and admire you. All the best.
